Congressman Henry's Record. It may be news to many of the voters of this congressional district, tth learn that Hon. C. L. Henry, the present member of Congress from this district, and f,h« republican candidate for the same office now before the people, has made a record, for himself while he has held his office. It has generally been supposed that Henry went to Washington and had a good time at. the public’s expense without doing anything or saving anything worthy of attention, but such is evidently not the case as the Congressional Record conclusively shows. While Henry has been in congress, a bill came before the House providing for the retirement of all our present vol time of greenbacks from circulation, and this of course, carried with it the arrangemen* for- the sale of enough government bonds to purchase .$318,000,-, 000 of gold with which to redeem them. ■ The effect qf this bill would have been if enacted into a law, to contract our currency to the extent of $340 000 000 and increase the public debt By a similar amOun . saying nothing of the millions of dollars extra in which would have accrued bn the bonds before they would finally be paid The whole schema, was concocted by the syndicates, who wanted a chance to make from .000,000 to $20,000,000 clear on another bond sale, and it met with favor among certain of our socalled public seivants who. for some übknown reason gave it encouragement and promised it support. The scheme at last became tangible in the form of a bill whiefi was in due time introduced into congress and, afer some discussion was brought to a vote in the lower house of which Mr. Henry is a member, * Instead of standing up for the rights of the people and especially for his constituents among whom not. one in ten thousand would favor such a measure, he set their interests at defiance and voted for the bill —Anderson Democrat.

ENGLAND IS ' FOR M’KINLEY. The Moneyed Aristocracy of Great Britain United In Their Advocacy of the Gold Standard and Hanna’s Man, CLEVELAND’S COUSIN ABROAD. “England never will consent to bimetallism.” This is the message Ben jamin Folsom, ex-United States consul to Sheffield, brings back to the American people from England, says the Buffalo Times. Mr. Folsom has just returned from a 5-weeks’ trip in England. He was consul to Sheffield under President Cleveland’s first administration. As is well known, Mr. Folsom is a cousin of Mrs. Cleveland. He went to Englund partly on business and partly for pleasure. During hie stay there he made it a point to ascertain England’s opinion of .American politics and her position regarding the impending campaign. Having been formerly stationed at Sheffield in an official capacity, he is well known there, and in a position to find out the real situation. The results of his observations are inmmed up in the opening sentence. Below is published an interview with Mr. Folsom, in which England’s attitude is more fully described: “While in England I met a great many friends who questioned me regarding American polities, and whom 1 answered as well as I was able. The great mass of the people of England know as little about our politics as the inhabitants of Patigoniado about affairs in Russia. The monied class, 'however, have developed quite an interest in our affairs during the' present campaign. They know only what they learn from the brief and distorted articles which appear in their newspapers regarding the political situation here. Never Will Consent to Bimetallism. “On every side I heard in the provinces and in London, wherever I was, in the hotels or clubs, that ENGLAND NEVER WOULD CONSENT TO ANY SUCH DOCTRINE AS BIMETALLISM. The English monied men make no attempt at concealing - their desire for McKinley’s election because it is for their * own interest. It is very strange, and look back and see how the slightest expression of sympathy on the part of England in favor of a presidential candidate heretofore was supposed to damage his chances of election, and alienate the Irish vote, while now we have all the aristocracy and financial representatives of England advocating the election of McKin-

ley. I wouder how Lord Sackville West, who was dismissed, recalled and dis- 1 graced when he was British minister to 1 Washington for advising a bogus in- 1 quirer in a private letter to vote for Cleveland, feels when he sees all Eng- > land openly advocating McKinley’s i election. It will be remembered that 1 Lord Sackville West was at&#d by letter by a man named Osgoodby, who wrote under the name of Arthur Murchison, which way it would be best for a naturalized Englishman to vote. He advised the inquirer to vote forCleveland. . The letter was published in the press of this country and England. Mr. Cleveland forthwith asked for Minister West’s recall. The British government recalled him and he has never ■-covered from the disgrace. •‘England is against Bryan, against bimetallism, aiid everything else which would tend to advance our interests. They have gold ready to kill silver in e this country if necessary. Silver the People’s Money In England. “THE MONEY IN CIRCULATION AMQNG THE GREAT MASS OF LABORING PEOPLE IN ENGLAND IS SILVER AND SILVER ONLY. The smallest bank note issued by the bank of England is £5, valued at about $25. There are a few. provincial banks which issued £1 or $5 notes. These, however, are rarely seen in circulation. The sovereign or £1 gold coin is used freely. The half-sovereign equal to our $2.50 gold piece is not a favorite, being too near the size of a six-pence or our 10 cent piece. So you see where wages amount to $lO a week or less, the workman desires and receives his pay in silver coin. It seems to me that there is in circulation in England many times more silver coin than here in America. “I speak of this simply to show that if the bills of small denomination were abolished we could and would use a vastly greater volume of silver than wo now do and without inconvenience. Wouldn’t, Tajce American Coin. “I happened to have-a $5 gold piece in my pocket—the only gold coin I had received.'lsfere in change ip the past three, years. It is worth a little more than the English sovereign,. ALTHOUGH I OFFERED THE AMERICAN $5 GOLD PIECE IN A NUMBER OF STORES JUST TO SEE IF THE AMERICAN DOLLAR WAS GOOD ANYWHERE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH AS REPUBLICAN ORATORS ASSERT, I WAS UTTERLY UNABLE TO PASS IT. I took it into a bank and asked for English money and they very politely TOLD ME I WOULD BE OBLIGED TO TAKE IT TO A MONEY CHANGER, so I brought it back home with me and here it is,” and Mr. Folson threw the coin down on the desk. •‘On my arrival at Sheffield I was invited to attend a gathering of representative men and leading manufacturers at Cutler’s hall, where about 100 sat down to luncheon. I talked with one of these gentlemen regarding politics here: He seemed afraid of Bryan, thinking his election would' mean the depreciation and repudiation of English interests in America. He had no confidence in McKinley and was surprised to learn that the latter voted for and that

free silver bill in 1877. ‘That, r he said, ‘makes McKinley more dangerous than we had imagined.’ “I pacified him by giving him that old chestnut, that political platforms were things to get on and off of and not to stand on, and assured him that, although wo had been on the verge of ruin a great many times, we had come out all right in the end. I also assured him that' there was not the slightest danger in the world of any repudiation of obligations to foreigners on the part of the United States, no matter who might be elected. Gold Standard and War Tariff. “I was sorry that I was not here to see and hear Mr. Bryan. For the past two or three weeks I have not seen or heard anything in regard to the political events at home, but I see that the silver ball is rolling on and gaining in size and strength, Mr. Bryan’s herculean work is telling—making votes everywhere he goes. There has never been seen in this country so remarkable gn exhibition of ability, strength, energy and determination as is shown in the campaign Mr. Bryan is leading. I heard yesterday from a prominent Republican that the McKinley people think they have Bryan and free silver beaten, and now intend to turn their work in the direction of their pet high tariff protection theory. So if our friends—the gold Democrats—succeed in electing McKinley they will get more McKinleyism than they can swallow before they have finished their banquet. “I am very glad to get home once more and shall do the little that lies my power to advance the interests of the regular Democrats ” $5.00 Lancaster, Ohio and Return. .
